what makes our firm different we think
00:06
is experience and by experience i mean
00:09
walter and i have been doing business
00:11
litigation since 1990 john mcconnell
00:15
since 2005
00:17
and the way we like to handle a case is
00:20
to put one lawyer with that level
00:22
experience on the case
00:25
and handling
00:26
everything and the other thing that that
00:29
means is that
00:30
you’ve got one lawyer handling things
00:34
instead of
00:35
a lot of different people so if you’ve
00:37
got a deposition or a hearing or
00:39
something like that or even a phone call
00:41
with the client
00:43
you’re not going to have two or three
00:44
other people on the call or at the
00:46
hearing or deposition just doing nothing
00:48
you’re going to have the experience
00:51
handling the matter and just the
00:52
experience
00:58
our firm handles almost every kind of
01:03
business or civil litigation
01:06
except for divorces
01:09
everything from
01:10
contract disputes to shareholder
01:12
disputes to
01:14
fiduciary litigation to trade secret
01:17
litigation the full panoply of what’s
01:21
what’s out there
01:22
in the civil litigation world we have
01:26
tried and have been involved in
01:28
almost every type of case and have tried
01:32
those cases all over the state in my
01:36
personal instance
01:37
in on both coasts
01:44
our clients can expect a
01:46
great level of service from our firm we
01:49
have years of experience we’re going to
01:51
answer your phone calls we’re very
01:53
accessible but most importantly are two
01:55
things one is we
01:57
really want to know what your objectives
01:59
are for this litigation we are a
02:01
goal-oriented firm so we want to make
02:03
sure that our
02:05
strategy aligns with your objectives uh
02:07
whether a business or individual
02:09
objective the second thing we want to do
02:11
is make sure we act expeditiously
02:12
expeditiously to get you the most cost
02:14
effective resolution you know we’re not
02:16
one of these firms who sends three
02:18
associates to every hearing have a bunch
02:20
of people staff every deposition we
02:23
staff everything lean
02:24
so we have you know one attorney doing
02:26
the depositions one attorney doing the
02:28
hearings we make sure we do the most of
02:30
cost effective and quickest way to reach
02:33
the resolution
02:34
for your case
02:36
[Music]
02:41
somebody that is willing to give you
02:44
an unvarnished perspective about the
02:47
merits of your case or the merits of the
02:49
defense of your case
02:51
you don’t want somebody that is just
02:53
going to
02:54
buy
02:55
your version of events or the client’s
02:57
version of events you want somebody that
03:00
has a critical eye towards the
03:03
entirety of the case to make sure that
03:05
you’re
03:06
getting the right kind of advice
03:08
part of what lawyers do is play devil’s
03:10
advocate and make sure
03:12
that a case has the merit that that the
03:15
client thinks it does and if it doesn’t
03:17
then you have to reassess
03:19
and reevaluate the other thing
03:21
that i think is really important for
03:23
lawyers to do
03:24
is to
03:26
is to answer phone calls and to answer
03:30
questions and frequently clients have
03:33
uh questions and and lawyers want to
03:35
equivocate or to or to give kind of
03:38
half-baked answers and clients deserve
03:41
more they it’s their case they deserve
03:44
your unvarnished opinion they deserve
03:46
the odds on what you think the k where
03:48
you think the case will go
03:50
uh they deserve the full upset of your
03:53
opinions
03:59
at our firm uh we charge typically on an
04:02
hourly rate uh with an initial retainer
04:04
there are some cases that we will take
04:06
on a contingency fee that has to be you
04:08
know it’s very case specific but
04:09
typically it’s an hourly rate
04:11
and we bill per month
